That is quite a sight. Amazing. Beautiful shapes of the dunes and the ground.
Did you have a plastic bag close by for the camera :>))

We were riding in vans like ones in the first photo. They were closed so there was less dust when riding around, but there was plenty when we got out or put the window down to shoot. I had a lens pen with a brush to clean off the camera and lens each time we got back in the van.
Two bodies really help. We went with one long lens and one short lens and hoped for the best, not changing the lenses during the drive.
We also swipe the shower caps whenever we go to a hotel/motel. They are about the right size and can give the camera a bit of protection. The elastic band keeps them on the camera but makes removal easy when you want to shoot.

At first I couldn't tell if shot #2 was one shot or 2 panos. Very neat!!

Hi Kevin,
Yes it is one photo. When the wind blows from one direction the sand piles up over the downwind top edge of a dune. When the downwind slope exceeds 34 degrees, the sand collapses leaving a new sharp downwind edge. If you could cut across the sand in the direction of the wind, it would look like a series of sawtooths with a gentle slope up and a sharp dropoff.
Photo #2 was taken looking into the wind into a series of the dropoffs.
